L'Art Urbain 2
Avec AIKO, ALEX, Boris Hoppek, John "CRASH" Matos,

 DOZE GREEN, Daniel Tagno, Mambo, Mist, Smash137, TOXIC.

Exposition du 4 décembre au 18 janvier 2011 / Exhibition from december 4th to january 18th 2011
Vernissage le samedi 4 décembre de 18 - 21 h / Opening on saturday the 4th, december  6 - 9 pm

Le succès rencontré par la première exposition consacrée - l'art urbain ...du mur a l'atelier, avec des artistes tels Gérard Zlotykamien, Lady Pink, John Fekner et Don Leicht, Jean Faucheur... a encouragé Addict Galerie - poursuivre son panorama dédié - un mouvement de l'art contemporain. Si notre première proposition mettait en valeur le passage en atelier d'artistes qui proposaient une variété de techniques usant des matériaux les plus divers, il s'agit cette fois de laisser découvrir des peintres encore fortement ancrés dans le paysage urbain et pratiquant aussi le travail sur toile. Cette approche cherche - souligner la réussite éclatante de cet art.

Dans ce deuxième volet, l'influence du graffiti est plus forte comme le montrent les talents toujours aussi variés, qui partageront les murs de cette exposition.

Le pionnier, John Matos dit CRASH, recouvre les métros new yorkais dès l'âge de 13 ans. Dès la fin des années 1970, il transpose son travail sur toile. CRASH n'a cessé de perfectionner son lettrage et a concouru - la progression du graffiti en lui permettant d'établir un lien entre "la vie de la rue et la société conventionnelle".
  
Caribéen, comme Jean Michel Basquiat, son "frère d'art", TOXIC laisse exploser la couleur  pour manifester sa prodigieuse énergie de guerrier, sa férocité de survivant d'une génération perdue qui a appris - peindre dans les entrailles dangereuses du métro de New York.
  
DOZE GREEN l'un des précurseurs de la culture Hip-Hop qui nous offre une peinture oú foisonnent les images d'un polythéisme flamboyant : hommes et animaux - figure de totems, gardiens de la vérité, guerriers alertant sur les dangers du monde.

Lady AIKO trouve son inspiration dans la rue et dans la culture Kawaii pour dresser des portraits de femmes dont le  romantisme de chrysalide masque - peine une sexualité dévorante et  la candeur apparente semble menacée par le chaos environnant.

ALEX compose au spray sur toile des úuvres hyperréalistes qui relèvent de l'exactitude photographique. Il met en lumière des visages troublants d'enfants laissés pour compte du soit disant progrès.  

Boris Hoppek Artiste polymorphe, dénonce  l'hypocrisie, la violence, le racisme, la prostitution ou la pornographie. Il se fait mondialement connaÓtre grâce - ses baby dolls qui vont devenir les personnages animés d'une célèbre publicité vantant une marque de voiture.

Daniel Tagno projette, en un seul trait,  lettres et mots qui peu - peu se déforment  pour devenir prétexte - simples images.

Mambo s'inspire de l'image du cerveau, pour élaborer des cases mentales, débordant de visions et d'émotions. Pour lui, l'essentiel est de peindre des úuvres oú chacun  peut se projeter pour en faire jaillir  sa propre histoire.

Egalement sculpteur, MIST fasciné par le lettrage ´ wildstyleª, développe sa propre écriture aux couleurs acidulées qui puise son énergie dans les codes graphiques du graffiti.

Smash137 feuillette comme une BD, d'un úil étonné mais sans tristesse, un monde représenté par un entrelacs de lettres, d'éclats de mots et d'assemblages décalés.
Ce panorama en deux temps ne prétend pas épuiser  la présentation  d'un art par essence  foisonnant et en perpétuel renouvellement. Il se voudrait un pur instantané, une simple mise au point révélant les lignes de force d'une expression picturale qui ne cesse de nous étonner.  Il n'a d'autre but que d'attirer le regard  sur un mouvement artistique - la légitimité désormais indiscutée. Puisse média, institutions, collectionneurs, simple visiteurs s'en convaincre.

Précisons enfin - l'intention de  ceux qui n'ont pas eu l'occasion de découvrir la première partie de cette exposition, qu'ils ont encore jusqu'au Samedi 27 Novembre pour nous rendre visite.

Film: Wholetrain

WHOLETRAIN

With his fantastic cinema debut WHOLETRAIN Florian Gaag tells the story of a crew of four “writers” – David, Tino, Elyas und Achim – who observe the hierarchies, the values, the rules and the codes of the graffiti scene. Night after night they make off for the subway stations of the city, intent on leaving opulent images behind. But as another crew appears on the scene, and the four feel challenged, a creative battle ensues, one that will change the lives of these young people for ever.

We are confronted with life taken to the limit. Constantly on the edge of legality. Always on the run from the law. Urban space must be reclaimed. Friends are made and lost. Unbridled creativity and doing things for the sheer love of it are watchwords too.

WHOLETRAIN is an exciting and emotionally gripping drama, one that explores for the first time the secret universe of the graffiti scene. The protagonists exist in a breathless state, suspended somewhere between two worlds: their day to day life, and their existence within the crew. Florian Gaag manages to recount a tale coloured by tension and aggression. The result is a many-sided portrait of characters whose world has never been documented in this way before. Their subculture remains authentic and realistic. Edgy editing and grandiloquent camerawork, a pulsating soundtrack and an excellent ensemble of actors, make WHOLETRAIN a film experience not to be missed.

The soundtrack was written and produced by Florian Gaag, who worked with legendary figures like Hip Hop greats KRS-One, Freddie Foxxx, O.C., Planet Asia, Afu-Ra, Grand Agent, Tame One, Akrobatik and El Da Sensei. Florian Gaag also collaborated with internationally renowned graffiti artists. Writers such as Neon, Won, Cemnoz, Pure and Ciel, who were responsible for the artwork.

London Miles Gallery is hosting an afternoon with Duster UA on December 4th, 2010. Curated by Paul 'Don' Smith, Duster will be traveling outside of the USA for the first time in his life, to give a talk about his legendary career as a New York subway graffiti artist during the '70s and '80s. The afternoon will include an exhibition of original and rare photographs from Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper authors of 'Subway Art', an exhibition of limited edition prints and artwork by Duster, and a one hour talk with the artist as he talks through his experiences as a New York train writer.

Visitors to the event will enjoy a private screening of Style Wars; the original Hip Hop documentary directed by Tony Silver and co- produced with Henry Chalfant. The film was awarded the Grand Prize for Documentaries at the 1983 Sundance Film Festival. STYLE WARS is regarded as the indispensable documentation of New York street culture and subway art of the early '80s, the filmic record of a golden age of youthful creativity that exploded into the world from a city in crisis. A percentage of all ticket sales will go to the restoration fund of Style Wars. For more information visit www.stylewars.com

AJ Fosik, Ben Venom, Erin Riley

Guerrero Gallery, November 13th – December 4th

Guerrero Gallery is please to present new works by AJ Fosik, Ben Venom, and Erin Riley.  With a focus on traditional craft, a seemingly almost extinct skill in today's highly digitized world, this exhibition aims to bring light and exposure to the hands-on work of each of these very distinct artists.  Evident in the bold and contemporary works by Fosik, Venom and Riley, is each artist's personal style and approach.  With an invested personal connection to the pieces they create, they confront and challenge different themes by embedding chosen themes through their craft.

AJ Fosik's creation of figural, intricately designed three-dimensional animals and anthropomorphized beings involves hundreds of individually cut and vanished pieces of wood.  His work, evocative of American Folk Art, draws inspiration from subversive cultural inluences that shift complacency.  By incorporating appealing familiar symbols and aspects, his pieces provoke a suspension of comfort.  AJ Fosik is originally from Detroit and received a BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York.

Ben Venom's pillows, quilts and embroidery simultaneously mock and pay tribute to the encounter between two seemingly opposing forces. His interest in bringing together traditional handmade craft and the extremes of Heavy Metal culture is not an attempt to organize chaos into conservatism, but to provide a reinterpretation through a different medium. Ben Venom received an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and currently lives in San Francisco.

Erin Riley's tapestries, woven from a Macomber floor loom with hand dyed wool yarn, are a series of pieces inspired by the images produced by the internet generation.  The series is a product of her research into the symptoms and results of various themes, including addiction and single-parent households. Drawn to images of self-discovery, experimentation, regression, development, her works depict a generation of excess and confusion. Erin Riley received an MFA from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, where she currently lives.

Prints from Iconoclast

Iconoclast ships prints just about anywhere. They have two notable new releases this week:
November is another a big month for new releases from Iconoclast. We have published Robbie Conal's new print Contra Cocaine -- a hand-pulled silkscreen with glitter touches. Contra Cocaine (1988) is one of many highlights in Conal's twenty-five year arc as painter and political provocateur, and is one of his most legendary and widely influential paintings-cum-political posters. In 1988, Robbie and his volunteer postering crews disseminated his most infamous portrait of Ronald Reagan, entitled Contra Diction – a notorious image, which along with Contra Cocaine, have become recognized all over the world as defining images of 1980s American politics. The Contra Cocaine image has never been available until now.
Another high point for this month is the release of a new poster by Os Gemeos, the famed twin duo from Sao Paulo. This is the second release in a trio of official exhibition posters for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's exhibit Viva La Revolucion, curated by Pedro Alonzo. The second poster features the artwork of Os Gemeos' large outdoor mural for the exhibit. This official exhibition poster is free of charge, plus applicable shipping charges. 
The third, and final, poster of the series for the MCASD will be by recent 2010 TED Prize recipient JR - to be released next month.

5795 Washington Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232

Carmichael Gallery is pleased to present Block Party, a group exhibition featuring Boxi, Krystian Truth Czaplicki, Gregor Gaida, Simon Haas and Dan Witz. Block Party aligns the disparate creative practices of five internationally-based contemporary artists. In doing so, the shared intrinsic presence of themes of isolation, beauty and reflection upon self and surroundings in their works are augmented, inviting new dialectical dialogues and considerations.

Artworks included in the exhibition range from works on canvas, wood, MDF and paper to mixed media sculpture, a large site-specific mural installation and a video presentation.

A showcase of new works on paper by Sixeart will be displayed concurrently in the gallery’s largest project room.

Reception: Saturday, November 13 from 6 to 8pm with Boxi and Simon Haas in attendance.

Status Factory
The Art of Ron English

Opening Reception: Friday, November 12th  6:00pm -10:00pm

Orange Coast College - Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion
2701 Fairview Rd., Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Parking in Lot D9 (Off Merrimac Street)

The Orange Coast College Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion in collaboration with Opera Gallery and Hurley presents Status Factory, a surreal assemblage of over 100 artworks by Ron English. This highly interactive exhibition traces the arc of English's most ambitious themes across mediums.

One of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today, Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books, television, and album covers. English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters. Ron English's art, whether in paintings, billboards, murals, or sculpture, blends stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America's Premier Pop Iconoclast.

Born in Illinois, Chicago in 1959, Ron English paints, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture and its mainstream visual iconography on canvas, in song, and directly onto hundreds of pirated billboards. English exists spiritually somewhere between a cartoon Abbie Hoffman and a grown-up, real-life Bart Simpson, delivering a steady stream of customized imagery laden with strong sociopolitical undertones, adolescent boy humor, subversive media savvy, and Dali-meets-Disney technique. Dedicated to finding the sublime in the everyday and breaking the momentum of the didactic approach to art and life, English offers up an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted, and there is always room for a little good-natured fun.

Free graffiti fonts for a limited time from Geneus1 - FontStruct


(click if you don't see the animation)

Geneus1 asked me to tell you that for a limited time, he has some free graffiti typefaces on FontStruct, which is a web-based application that allows users to design modular typefaces.

His work is here
http://fontstruct.fontshop.com/fontstructors/geneus1/public
and in particular you might like Graffikki, which recently won third place in the FontStruct international design competition, and Throwdown, which earned a special mention in the previous competition. DeTrayne is dedicated to Dondi and Dream.

All of his fonts at FontStruct are free for personal use, but some will be taken offline soon as he is releasing retail versions of them.

FontStruct is a pretty cool little font-fiend/typnerd community, and it's simple to sign up (it's free and you just need an email address), then you can download and make your own fonts there. All fonts are in TrueType format and can be used in any operating system that utilizes them. Each font has a license that is selected by the creator, some are free for personal and commercial usage. Most of Geneus1's are licensed for personal use only.

Un petit descriptif de l'exposition.

Light Painting Xperience. Par Thomas Canto/ DENSE.

A la croisée entre photographie, performance, graff, art numérique et calligraphie, le light painting est un art aux multiples facettes. Transformant de manière instantanée l’architecture des villes de Paris à Tokyo, transportant des personnages réels dans un monde virtuel, futuriste et magique, Thomas Canto nous invite à partager son univers à la galerie Ligne 13 dans une «light painting Xperience» totale, avec au programme une exposition photo et une projection vidéo, une performance live de l’artiste le soir du vernissage et des workshops d’initiation, avec une virée nocturne dans les meilleurs «spots» du 17ème arrondissement.

L'autre partie de la galerie accueillera la dernière série de toiles  dans le style Gravité B ainsi qu'une installation pour permettre au spectateur de s'immerger dans cet univers . Cette série uniquement en tons de gris, entre architectures imaginaires, modules et perspectives  est une forme d'hommage au travail de Dare, ami et référence, décédé cette année. On y retrouve la rigueur et les tons qui caractérisaient  la série "Greytones" peinte par ce dernier en 2007.
